I’m looking forward to some history, history of political thought, and maybe political philosophy courses. Anybody have info on upcoming courses in those areas? Very well done guys btw.

That is what I am hoping for too and I would be very surprised if they didn’t have those.

We’ve updated the Mises Academy site with more details and a screenshot of the virtual “classroom”!

It’s official, you just kicked Blackboard’s ass.

Ugh, I hate Blackboard. Whenever I click “Announcements” for my itm. macro class it sends me to my announcements from last semester, when I took principles of macro. That and everything else about it sucks.

The devs for BB could take a hint from sites like the Mises Academy and such for what people want in an online educational platform. Hell, even most of my teachers hate using it to do their grades with as it screws with their equations all the time (especially BB 8.0 which more or less makes it impossible to curve a class).

I know it is early in the game, and I am all for this, but is there going to be more info about any of the other 50 classes soon?

As of now, the Mises Academy does not offer credits that can be applied to a state-accredited school; what it does offer is real knowledge that can be applied to a state-afflicted world.

Is this a long term goal at all? Again, it doesn’t bother me much but it is obviously a concern to others. Is there going to be a track to a non-state-accredited degree? I could come up with a ton of questions on my own, but all I am hearing about is Murphy’s course.

That’s kind of our focus for now; I hope you’ll bear with us. [B]

In response to my post on the Mises Academy, “Le Master” shares the following poignant and lovely reflection:

The road to this point has encountered some moments of tremendous exasperation. In late 1968 Walter Heller of the University of Minnesota and Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago held their “great debate” on “Monetary vs. Fiscal Policy” at NYU. It received national front-page coverage. Hundreds of people attended; additional rooms had to be found to accommodate them. Later that same evening, Mises held a seminar across the hall where only fewer than a dozen people showed.

That fall evening, the public wasn’t listening to the teachings of Mises. But on a spring evening this year, it’s going to be much different.

Won’t you join us on that spring evening?

I think courses in logic would be a good idea. Then, if someone racks up a certain number of credits in logic and economics, they could get a “degree” in praxeology. How cool would that be?

Also, I’m loving the new avatar, Lilburne. Join the club. (:

Thanks. [D] This is my favorite picture of Mises; he looks so chill.

What choice do I have right? A ballpark estimate on when there will be information would be nice though. I was just expecting it sooner.

Intermediate Macroeconomics, ftw. I can’t wait to get all the Keynesian nonsense I learned this year out of my head.

Mises says all action involves speculation.
